Part II — Patristic and Medieval Eyes: Signa, Sin, and the Ontology of Falsehood
The ancient Roman world bequeathed to Latin Christianity a conviction that language is not neutral breath but a bridge—or a chasm—between soul and reality. Augustine, writing in De Doctrina Christiana, calls every word a signum that ought to guide the mind toward its res, the thing signified, and ultimately toward the Logos in whom all meaning coheres. When a sign is wielded to obscure rather than reveal—when “Moscow” is dangled alongside a manufactured rumor about a school-shooting survivor—the trajectory of the mind bends inward, curvatus in se. The audience’s interpretive energy spirals around the spectacle itself, never pointing beyond to the order of charity and truth Augustine deems the only proper horizon for discourse. Such perverse delectation with shadows, he insists, enslaves both speaker and hearer; the intellect becomes a lover of its own hallucinations.
